WHO Launches CoViNet: A Global Coronavirus Surveillance Network
Overview

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched CoViNet, a new global network dedicated to the early detection, monitoring, and assessment of SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, and other coronaviruses of public health importance.

CoViNet builds on the WHO COVID-19 reference laboratory network established during the early pandemic. It brings together global laboratories specializing in human, animal, and environmental coronavirus surveillance, following a comprehensive One Health approach.

CoViNet Action Plan

Representatives of CoViNet laboratories met in Geneva on March 26–27 to finalize an action plan for 2023-2025. This plan aims to equip WHO Member States with enhanced capabilities for early detection, risk assessment, and effective responses to coronavirus-related health challenges.

Key Objectives

  • Early and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, and novel coronaviruses of public health importance.
  • Global surveillance and monitoring of the evolution and spread of these viruses using a One Health approach.
  • Timely risk assessment to guide WHO policies and public health countermeasures.
  • Capacity building for laboratories, especially in low- and middle-income countries, to strengthen global diagnostic and surveillance efforts.
CSIR-NEERI's Role in CoViNet

The WHO has recognized EE&PM CSIR-NEERI as the CoViNet member laboratory for environmental and wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses in the Southeast Asia region. CSIR-NEERI’s role is crucial in tracking viral circulation through environmental sampling and analysis.

Impact on Global Health

Data generated by CoViNet will directly support WHO’s Technical Advisory Groups on Viral Evolution (TAG-VE) and Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC). This ensures that global health policies, vaccines, and countermeasures are informed by the latest scientific findings.
